Lowry won it on the first hole today. Or more accurately, didn't lose it on the first hole. If he had double bogeyed (which looked likely) and Fleetwood birdied (which looked doable), it was immediately down to a one-shot match. Psychologically he would have been burst as well.
At no point did Fleetwood ever give off the air of being a man who was hunting Lowry down. He created chances but was hoping the door would open rather than kicking it down.
Lowry is very much in the mould of the great Offaly hurling and football players of glory days past. Modest, doesn't take himself too seriously, enjoys his sport but keeps it in perspective.
Should be a few great nights in Clara.
